TANNERS OF THE GROUND.

There is conquest of force in tanning the horse
TIL he brooks to be driven and bound,
But prouder by far the victories are
or the men who tame the ground
Who tame the ground and its willful powers,
And determine the work Ii must do,
TIL 1t leaves It's own and executes ours,
With obedience docile and true.
For they are true workers together with God
In maturing the earth to his plan,
And in teaching her dull and unmeaning sod
To glow with the thinking of man
Who compel her rude life to surrender the void,
The marsh and the Jungle to yield
To him who can out of her deserts unfold
The wealth Of the fruit bearing field.
Delights there may he on the restless sea,
Though treacherous, barren and bare;
But the grateful land ever blesses the hnnd
That tends It with wisdom and care.
Then health TO the heroes who tame the ground
And hold 1t In bountIful thral,
For they lap the earth with their conquests
around,
Enriching, benignant to all.

An English wedding in the time of
good Queen Bess was a joyous public fes-
tval. Among the higher ranks the bride
groom presented the company with scarfs,
gloves, and carriers of the favorite colors
of the wedding pair; and the
wound up with banquetings, Mosques,
pageants, and epithalamiums. A gay
procession formed a part of the humber
marriages The bride was led to church
between two boys, wearing bride laces
and rosemary tied about their silken
sleeves, and before her was carried a sill
yer cup filled with wine, in which was a
large branch Of gilded rosemary, hung
about with silken ribbons of ali colors.
Next came the musicians, and then the
bridesmaids, sope bearing great bride
cakes, others garlands of gilded wheat.

The Pope's Four Tiaras.

The pope's tiara, or tiaras-there are
no less than four of them-are among the
most interesting of the crowns of nor
recent date. The triple crown is worn by
the pope only on extraordinary occasions.
Ordinarily he wear a common bishops
inter. The tiara was originally a plain
pointed cap, but Pope Harmisdas added a
crown in the year 623, Boniface VIII
another at the beginning of the fourteenth
century, and John xxi the third, a
score of years later. The three together
represent the ecclesiastical, civil and judi
cha supremacy of Rome. A mound and
a cross of gold surmount the triple
crowns. The handsomest of the four at
the Vatican is the one presented by Napo-
leon to Pope Plus VII in 1905. Its three
golden rings are studded with precious
stones. AT the apex is an emerald said
to be worth alone 16, francs. The
value of the whole crown is estimated at
fully 200, 600 francs New York Mail

FRONTIER BANKING.
The Shotgun as an Adjunct of Financier
in Deadwood

The Shotgun as an Adjunct of Financtering
In Deadwood.
Sam N Wood, the cashier of the First Ma
tional bank at Denver, Col. which, by the way,
was the pride of ex-senator Chafee's CONNER
cial life, is at the Hoffman. Very few banks in
the country have tided as many financial storms.
Mr. Wood is known throughout the mountains
as a man of rare pluck, besides being considered
of exceptional ability as financier. His first
notable successes were at Deadwood, where,
during the troublous times of that wild region
he contrived to keep the value of his securities
far in excess Of his loans without making en-
emies. In the banking experiences of mining
town this is unusual. Yet, strange to say, Mr..
Wood is noted for seeming, extravagance in his
concessions to embarrassed friends The ex-
planation is simple. His Judgment of men is al
most unerring. A story illustrative of his char
acter is told by Black Hills admirers. It was
said of him that he refused money with such
suavity and grace that the applicant usually left
with an involuntary ''Thank you" on his lips.
One day, though, Mr.. Wood found his persua-
sive eloauence and explanations vain. A long
haired bullwhacker from Sidney, Neb.. who in
sisted on the immediate cashing of draft for
$500, refused to either complete his identified
ton or deposit the draft for collection. 81 am
sorry said Mr. Wood, his patience finally ex-
hausted, sbut you will have to move along I
have business to attend to-"
'Weh, see here, Mr. Cashier" exclaimed the
Sidney man with round oath, you'll just tend
to my business first or I'll give you these six
pills"
The cashier looked down the muzzle Of an
ugly revolver. Ee neither moved nor paled.
Don't do ything in a hurry; you might
never have time to regret, my friend" said he.
IF you gently pass your finger along the rim
of the counter there you will find the mouth Of
double -barreled shotgun it is loaded with
slugs. I have my finger on the trigger. Get,
! or will let her go at you"
The bullwhacker, his pistol hand trembling
and his eyes bulging from their sockets from
fright, explored the counter mechanically with
his disengaged hand, and finding gaping hole
in front of where he stood, dropped his weapon,
and didn't pause to say farewell. The concealed
shotgun was one of the precautions of frontier
banking

A HEHARKABLE WOMAN.

Her Marriage a Train One of the Incl.
dents of Romantic Career.
Minneapolis Special.
The most remarkable wedding that ever 90
Cured in DAKOTA took place at Rapid City yes
terday afternoon. where Mrs. Letitia c. Walker
made the wife of William Franklin. The
couple met at Harvey. D. T., and having en-
tered into an agreement to seek connnbial bliss,
took the stage for Rapid City. When they
arrived there some of their friends induced
them to make the wedding sensational: so on
taking the train telegram was sent ahead
to Buffalo Gap to have Justice of the peace meet
them at the depot The justice boarded the
train at the latter place little after dusk, and
found the expectant couple in car into which
all the passengers had crowded, having been
given tip that something extraordinary vas TO
happen. The justice held brief and hurried
consultation with MIR. Franklin and Mrs
Walker. The happy pair stood up in the aisle,
and as the train moved out they were made man
and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Franklin arrived in
Minneapolis to-day, and will remain until spring.
when they will go back to Harvey
The story of Mrs. Walkers career reads like q
romance. She left Minneapolis with small
sum OF money three years ago. going directly
into the mining country of the Black Hills.
She invested her money, but had difficulty in
getting deed or any other satisfaction for 1t.
She had some friends there, and she concluded
to either lose what she had left or get
her money out of the mine. She make known
her intentions to the men. 1t en-
couraged them to efforts They took
hold and pushed the work with a new vigor.
She furnished their food cooked it and did their
washing without any prospect of remuneration
unless the mines panned out Some twenty-five
men we're in the camp at that time. Mrs.
Walker was the only woman in the camp, and
the only one that had ever been. Matters went
on and the mine began to pay. Mrs. Walker
was made an equal partner with the men. Now
prospectors came in from time to time, and the
value of the surrounding territory became
known. Gold, silver and tin were discovered
Eastearn capitalists came in and took hold OF
the mines. and their value rapidly increased.
Quartz mills for the development of the silver
and gold mines were established, and mill for
the manufacture Of tin was built, the only one
ever built to manufacture direct from the ore in
America. Mrs. Walker was the only woman in
the camp at Harvey for upward of year and q
half. She obtained an interest in several Of the
gold, silver and tin mines which she now pos
sesses. Mr. Franklin also owns considerable Of
this worlds goods and it is estimated that their
combined interest in the mines about Harvey is
fully 5000. 600.

High License and Local Option.

St. Louis Republican (Dem)
There are reasons for believing that high
license and local option are doing moro to pro.
mote sobriety and reduce the consumption Of
spirits in the country than prohibition. 1t would
be interesting to have official statistics bearing
on this point We know that the number Of sa-
looms has been reduced in Missouri and the
drinking habit LARGELY diminished since the
Downing law went into efect-and that these
good results have been brought about without
the harassin: strife and litigation that mark
the history of prohibition in Kansas and Iowa;
and it is believed to-day that there is less liquor
consumed per capita in Missouri than in either
of those States The Missouri system has cer-
tainly proved itself an agent of temperance, and
it is far from being clear that as much can be
said of prohibition in Kansas.

A Considerate saloon-Keeper.

Minneapolis Tribune.
1t would be good thing for the saloon men if
they would evince little of the humanitarian
spirit displayed by the man in West Virginia
who published notice that he had paid $2l7 for
license to sell intoxicating liquors, and who
added the following to his notice:
Now if any wife has drunkard for husband or
if any man has friend who is dssipated. I say en-
phatcay. give me notice, and all such persons shall
be excluded from my place. Let mothers. fathers.
sisters and brothers do likewise and their requests
shall be needed wish it to be distinctly under stood
that viii not sell whisky otner liquors to minors
drunkards, or to the poor and destitute will not
take their money. Let them use it where it will do
the most good.
If our saloon-keepers would show this spirit
they might, in great measure, efface the sharp
line which divides them from the rest of society;
and they would not feel called upon to grumble
so much at what they term the s.hypocritcal
persecution of the fanatics"

county, in 1717, becoming one of the wealthiest
land holders in the county. He emigrated from
Switzerland and was never in Holland so that
there were no lands in that country to conis-

formed nearly twenty years ago to get the wealth.
